CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the FDA are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to alfalfa sprouts. As of December 29, 2022, a total of 15 people infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella have been reported from 3 states (NE, SD, and OK). 2 people were hospitalized and no deaths were reported. Illnesses started on dates ranging from December 2, 2022, to December 13, 2022. The investigation is ongoing.
On December 29, 2022, SunSprout Enterprises recalled 4 lots of raw alfalfa sprouts, lot numbers 4211, 5211, 3212, and 4212. The sprouts were distributed to food service and grocery customers in Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa between late November and mid-December 2022. Recalled sprouts have best-by dates between 12/10/2022 and 1/7/2023.
CDC advises people to not eat, sell, or serve recalled raw alfalfa sprouts.
In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
